Botulinum Toxin Treatment (Botox)

Botulinum Toxin Treatment (Botox)

At Brisbane Neurology, we understand how challenging complex neurological conditions can be. Our team of experienced neurologists is here to provide expert care and compassionate support, offering a range of treatments, including botulinum toxin (Botox) as an effective treatment option.

Botulinum toxin treatment is not suitable for everyone, and your neurologist will discuss treatment options with you including the costs involved.

Please keep in mind, we do not perform cosmetic treatments.

How Does BOTULINUM TOXIN TREATMENT Work for Neurological Disorders?

Botulinum toxin treatment for chronic migraine works by temporarily altering the neural feedback from the head and neck to the brain. In some patients this can reduce symptoms such as pain, muscle spasms and tension. With ongoing use, migraine frequency and intensity can be reduced.

Conditions That Benefit from BOTULINUM TOXIN TREATMENT

Our experienced neurologists at Brisbane Neurology use botulinum toxin treatment to treat a range of neurological conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Chronic Migraine: Botulinum toxin treatment can significantly reduce the number of migraine days and the intensity of attacks.
  • Hemifacial Spasm and Blepharospasm: Involuntary facial twitching or spasms can be alleviated with Botox injections, allowing for improved facial control.
  • Cervical Dystonia: Botox relaxes the neck muscles that cause painful twisting and abnormal head positioning.
  • Axillary Hyperhidrosis: Botox effectively reduces excessive sweating under the arms, helping to control symptoms and improve comfort.
  • Spasticity: For patients with muscle stiffness or spasticity, particularly those with multiple sclerosis or post-stroke complications, Botox can relax overly tight muscles and improve mobility.

What to Expect During Botulinum toxin treatment

During the procedure, your neurologist will use a fine needle to administer botulinum toxin treatment into the specific muscles or areas affected by your condition. The injections are typically quick and well-tolerated, with most patients feeling minimal discomfort. Our team will work carefully to target only the areas that need treatment, preserving the function of unaffected muscles. The entire session usually takes less than 30 minutes, and youโ€™ll be able to return to daily activities shortly after.
